“Honey, what’s that sudden noise? Who is it?”
Taken aback, Lee Sung Ja’s eyes fixed on her husband’s face.
“Just as you heard, what noise indeed.”
Hmm Wang Deok Jin’s thick palm patted the armrest of the old leather chair.
Inside the study, where one side of the wall was crammed with books, the smell of old paper floated around like dust.
A heavy silence flowed in the dim space for a moment.
The two were not only a couple but had also led a business as partners for a long time.
If either one put forth any proposal to the other.
Even if it were something trivial, they were well aware that it would undoubtedly be directly linked to the company’s profits.
Lee Sung Ja, who had been holding a tea cup, cautiously placed it on the table and did not rush at all.
Her voice was also supremely calm.
“Not Ra Sung Group, nor Congressman Song, but Congressman Cha Dae Sung. Having Congressman Cha wouldn’t be too bad, but first, please explain the reason clearly. Why your mind suddenly changed.”
“Ha… I really find this…”
Wang Deok Jin rubbed the back of his head with a troubled expression.
He wasn’t sure whether speaking was right or not.
The videos and photos he saw, he had vowed to take the content to his grave.
Even if she was his wife, he thought there would be nothing good to know.
“Honey.”
“Well, just do it that way. Upon inquiry, the fourterm congressman is a famous pianist and a professor at a prestigious university.”
“Is that the only reason better than Ra Sung Group or Congressman Song In Jae? Frankly speaking, I don’t mind losing Ra Sung. However, what about Congressman Song’s side? Mrs. Lee Hee Yeon is the eldest daughter of former Minister of Justice Lee Myung Chun. Do I have to explain everything that you already know?”
“Ah, right! Why!!”
Wang Deok Jin, who was about to raise his voice, hastily lowered it.
They say birds hear the words spoken during the day, and mice hear those at night.
Suddenly, he worried if someone had installed a strange device in the room, or if someone was eavesdropping outside the door an absurd panic rose.
“That just now it sounded like you were blaming me, did I hear correctly?”
Indeed, he could not deceive his wife.
They weren’t just acquainted for a day or two; by now, they knew each other’s mood just from their breathing.
Wang Deok Jin further lowered his already soft voice.
“It’s not that I’m blaming you you’re too … no, a person who conducts business so perfectly why our child … Ah, we’re talking about how we raised Nana wrong! Tsk.”
“Pardon?”
“We should have disciplined that boy’s temper from the beginning. Forget about America and studying, we should have kept him at home! It’s all ruined! Over!”
He was on the verge of having to visit the police station, it seemed.
The sound of Wang Deok Jin’s fist pounding down on the armrest of the innocent sofa resonated in the study.
“Speak in a way I can understand. Our Nana may be a bit immature and childish, but …”
“Childish? You’re calling him a child now? Ha! This is driving me mad.”
“…….”
“Your daughter, who you raised, pampering her all her life like a baby, afraid to scold her lest she wilt or fly away, what she has been up to……”
Cough Wang Deok Jin suddenly shut his mouth again.
“It’s too uncomfortable even to confide in me, is that what you’re saying.”
“Yes! It’s beyond uncomfortable. It’s disgraceful to even bring up to utter it!”
“Honey, Chairman Wang. I’m Nana’s mother. I already know most of it……”
Knock knock As soon as the short, swift knocking sound was heard, the heavy study door flung open.
“What are you two doing hiding here!”
Knowing they were having a secret talk, Wang Nana swiftly inserted herself between her parents.
Come here.
She understood the sweet invitation, but her body wouldn’t move.
It was a dazed feeling, as if she had deeply fallen into the midst of a sensual and ecstatic dream.
“…….”
From the piano chair without a backrest, Jae Ha, who had subtly shifted his body, lifted his crossed legs.
He smiled as if he were sorry, with his eyes drooping downwards.
Tap tap Come here, he tapped the chair again.
Swallowing her dry saliva, Eun Jo painfully lifted one foot off the ground.
She went down the stairs awkwardly like a broken doll, wearing an old, wornout nightdress with a stretchedout neck.
The grand piano reflecting the light of the floor lamp.
The man sitting in front of it looked like European nobility from a movie.
The deep navy silk gown looked like it was flowing down his broad shoulders.
He used to be a nimble and charming young leopard
Now, his presence was so sharp and intense that just a fleeting eye contact made her shiver.
The moment she thought of a black leopard hiding in the dark.
His firm chest visible through the open gown caught her eye.
“…….”
Eun Jo, who was standing in front of him trembling, fiddled with her hands held behind her back.
Jae Ha’s face with a faint smile somehow looked paler than usual.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
